Default Rest in peace old friend

Wednesday evening 8/15/2013 at about 1700 AK time a guy in a Chevy Colorado pulled out in front of me.

The poor old boy is scrap metal now, not much salvageable. His truck didn't fair any better. At least neither of us had any serious injuries. I received a fractured rib, some bruises, and a lot of sore muscles. Not sure how the other guy fared. He was walking around and talking, then they suddenly took him away in an ambulance.
We had him for a very long time and was part of the family. My wife and I will be holding a memorial service Saturday.

Good to hear your injury's were relatively minor
in comparison to the other guy. Sounds like you
may have killed him. What a thread that
would make. Pull the motor. Scrap the truck, and
don't get conned into contributing to the "Martin
going back to school" fund.

I'm hanging on to it for now. It may have something the next one will need.

The tranny is in pieces along with the transfer case lying on the skid pan. The engine and rear axle are questionable. The oil pan was punctured and I may have a cracked block. The rear drive shaft is bent so the rear end may also be.
